Work in Progress: Circle Trail

Upon coming into the studio today, I had all intention of  painting more of my last work in progress. When I arrived though, I realized my groggy self just wasn’t feeling it.

Instead I opted to begin another circle painting. Creating the circles allows me to fall into a sort of flow. I don’t quite zone out, but I do get absorbed into the repetition and pattern, which I think is good for the brain from time to time. I plan to build up both the color and the circles further before calling it done.

Part of my 365 goal was to complete a piece of art each day. It didn’t have to be large, and if I was working on something larger scale, I could take more than one day to complete it, but I had to complete something smaller that day as well.  This was great initially. It forced me to follow through on projects and helped me to stick to the arting. As the year moved along though, I realized this goal was less helpful and I was anxious for the day when I could simply post a work in progress.  Today is the first of those days! Hooray.
